LFM to start BT hard mode static group

I want to get a static group together for BT hard mode to start in a couple weeks if I can fill the group. I want a group of really serious and dedicated people, since this place definitely is no pushover and we need a big commitment if we wanna get our eternals. I'm looking at around 5 days a week, with 2 days for breaks, and we can occasionally decide to do something else for a break from BT such as udas, forts, DP, dred, but mostly we'll focus on BT. I'm looking for people available most nights of the week in the evening, looking to get this stuff done sometime between 6pm - 12am pacific. In the first few runs it may actually take us a long time to make some progress, but with practice it'll speed up a lot, and I want dedicated people who will stick with it through the learning times~

I do have experience with a lot of the bosses in hard mode as well, I've killed up to Isbaraya myself, and know the strat for Isbaraya and Stormwing.

If you aren't geared in miragent or equivelent yet, that's ok, as long as you're working hard towards getting there and you're able to commit to a static like this. Hopefully we can get you geared to that point quickly, especially after 2.1.

Additional notes about the group slots, we'll need the Templar to work on an HP armor set if they don't have one yet, and the sorc should be working on getting MB capped at 2.8k if they aren't already yet.

Please let me know if you're interested or have more questions!

I really think you'll need a HP set. A lot of the high damage skills in BT are either magic or not blockable. And the chance to block is still really low. Block is relying on a chance, while the HP is always there. The templar that I run it with has 14.5k HP, and he's using the Empyrean Providence stigma tree. I really think that's probably best, if you want to see what he's using his profile is: http://na.aiononline.com/livestatus/character-legion/search?charID=331947&serverID=1

Moves that are very strong but on a large cooldown work very well for several bosses in BT HM. Empyrean Providence blocks damage on the other group members too, which is one of the big bonuses for it. If you have the stigmas already, I think you should try it out in there and see how it goes. The bosses are really difficult, so having those moves for them would really help a lot.

Yea, i have those stigma already. I know the Empyrean Providence blocks damage on the other group members as well, but it last for 15 secs with 10m cooldown. Basically, you can only use it once (well, maybe twice with a low dps group) during the fight. Tried it, and it worked that ONE time. lol. The rest of the time during the same boss fight couldn't use it while cd. That's why i thought it is really really really marginally useful.

Alright, cool. This is forming faster than expected, I will be on vacation next week, so we'll have to plan to start the following week, think I should be back on the 28th.

You and Ghones are both ok with committing to this group for around 5 nights per week? Our first attempts when we're learning BT HM will probably take a long time, but after practice we should get it down to around 3 hours. We're just gonna have to stick it out til that happens. ^^

I'm also considering finding some other generic kind of dps instead of a sorc, sorc may not be needed anymore since hard mode was nerfed considerably in difficulty in 2.1. If we can get by without a sorc, then preferably I'd want a ranger. I don't really want a glad, I'd rather a ranged dps since we'll already have a temp and sin.
